Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!! And not only that, I found out recently that large gold mining companies are running out of land for new exploration. This is why the small gold mining companies have an edge, because they have the geologists who seek new lands for mining. It is better to invest in the start-ups who have the currently employed geologists.
It will NEVER be a buck.....NEVVVVVERRRRRR. You should be completely thrilled with a penny or two, but even that's a stretch. .005-.007 quite possible. Do yourself a favor and if it gets to the half penny area, start selling and make some money.
